New product :Dive In and Make a Splash with the New Garmin Swim™

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, today announced Garmin Swim™ –
its first training watch designed specifically for swimmers that lets
users track stroke type, stroke count, distance, pace, lengths and much
more. This stylish thin watch also allows swimmers to track their
workouts and drills in real-time. Garmin Swim was announced in
preparation for the U.S. Masters Swimming Championships in Omaha,
Nebraska July 5-8 where it will be prominently displayed.

“Garmin Swim will quickly replace the log books and journals so many
swimmers have come to rely on for tracking their progress,” said Dan
Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “At a glance,
swimmers will know their time, distance, pace and be able to wear this
watch as an everyday timepiece, all without having to worry about
charging it.”
Garmin Swim is ready to go right out of the box – swimmers need only to
tell it the length of the pool they are swimming in and begin their
workout. Its sleek profile allows it to cut right through the water, so
it won’t cause drag or slow swimmers down. Garmin Swim’s battery lasts
approximately one year and is easy to replace at home, so swimmers won’t
have to send it away to stay powered. To see Garmin Swim in action go

With Garmin Swim on the wrist, swimmers can focus on their technique
instead of what lap they are on. Garmin Swim automatically knows the
stroke swimmers are using and tracks their lengths, strokes, distance,
pace and more. With a few button presses, swimmers can also log drills
or start timed sets without constantly monitoring the pool clock. It
even calculates swimmers’ swolf scores to help gauge efficiency, making
it ideal for lap swimmers of all levels. The intuitive interface
utilizes 6 buttons, so functions can be accessed quickly and easily.
Slim and attractive enough to be worn as a daily watch, Garmin Swim
serves as a personal reminder of swimmers’ goals. To help swimmers stay
motivated, it displays their weekly accumulated distance under the time
of day. Watch features include dual time zones and alarm -- so no more
early morning excuses for not getting to the pool.
Upon completion of a workout, swimmers can upload their swim data to
Garmin Connect™ (http://connect.garmin.com),
a website for free online analysis. Here swimmers can quickly and easily
view their workouts, track their totals, set goals, share workouts and
data with coaches, friends and family and participate in an online
fitness community of more than 80 million activities around the world.
Through the magic of ANT+™ wireless technology and the USB stick that
comes with the Garmin Swim, swimmers’ workout data automatically
transfers to their computer when in range. Garmin Connect is Mac® and
Windows® compatible.
Garmin Swim is available now and has a suggested retail price of
$149.99. Garmin Swim is the latest solution from Garmin’s expanding
fitness segment, which focuses on developing technologies and
